Exactly. And then if the black or gay person enters the store anyway, the owner is allowed to kill him and rape his family.

baker bakes cakes.

person comes in, wants one of his cakes.

baker asks, "you aren't planning to shove a piece of my cake up your ass, are ya?"

person declines to answer, instead asking for cream frosting on his cake. Flashes his money, sez "chop chop, bakerman, I have places to be!"

then mutters, "besides, once I buy that cake, it's my cake, motherfucker"

baker decides he's not gonna cake this shopper, "just to be on the safe side".

that is just no kind of well-ordered market

So that devious gays can't unreasonably burden store owners in the practice of their religion, gays will be required to register with the state and where rainbow armbands.

what it comes down to, in its essence, is allowing someone to choose to discriminate based on their "beliefs"

so I vote no

Wait... so merchants can refuse to sell gay peyote?

Is it better than straight peyote?

Is there some reason peyote should be illegal regardless of religious reasons? That solves everything. Then we can have anti-discrimination laws!!!!

In practice, this is what I think the current backers want the bill to do.

Not exactly the Christian thing to do, is it? I have this image of Jesus with a sign saying: "Miracles Performed! (Lepers need not apply)."

Indiana governor was on abc. George stephanpolous asked him 5 times if this allows for Christians to specifically discriminate against lbgts. He avoided it every time. Good stuff.

Only in Mississippi, jh. Let's not get carried away here.

On a slightly related note, in Anaheim for a conference. Near Disneyland, Jesus freaks - out in the streets - handing tickets out for God.

It does look like it has ample parking, though.
